Have they all stopped working after they got married?

the particular handful of girls that i have in mind gave up work, yeah
none of them went back after having babies.

I see
So, with all the free time that they have, how come they can't find more exciting things to talk about?

Some of my friends quitted working after having babies, but precisely for that, they're the ones to ask about what's going on in the city, as they have time to check everything out.

maybe it's just that i don't find their things exciting?
i am excited by new bars, nice clothes, new men and romance, gossip. they are excited by clothes for the baby and new cafes that allow the baby to do fingerpainting and 2-4-1 offers on baby food at waitrose.

Sorry, that should say 'I am excited by men and Waitrose'
I'd be more concerned about the one in Sandbach tbh

well yes
but nonetheless, if you think i get excited by waitrose, you have a lot to learn. a LOT.
( rachelswipe with a fork, Mon 15 Nov 2010, 11:43, Reply)

I'm willing to learn
Tbh, I discovered at the weekend I'm no longer able to flirt with women, as I've completely forgotten what to do. It's fucking terrible!

it's not a formula, you muppet
every girl requires different flirting skills. every. single. one.
( rachelswipe with a fork, Mon 15 Nov 2010, 11:46, Reply)

I discovered I have none
My friends tell me I come on too strong, but have no methods in which to help me to realise when I'm fucking up. Not good.

if she is not making lots of eye contact
and/or playing with her hair and/or smiling a lot and/or laughing at your jokes but she is a bit monosyllabic/looking over your shoulder for her mates... you've fucked up

One thing I've heard is that I often start well
Then as I drink, things go downhill. Sadly, I'm a massively nervous person, so am not too sure what else to do.

kill yourself?
practice on ugly girls? plenty of those in macc...
( rachelswipe with a fork, Mon 15 Nov 2010, 11:58, Reply)

Ugly girls are often the ones I go for, although from time to time I've had lovely ones
I've ruled myself out for the next couple of weeks at least, due to Movember I've currently got some utterly awful facial hair.
( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Mon 15 Nov 2010, 11:59, Reply)

You do realise Movember isn't obligatory?

(LongJohnBaldry, Mon 15 Nov 2010, 12:00, Reply)

I do
It started because me being the bright spark I am, threw away my razor, and I currently can't afford another. However, I'm getting away with my pathetic facial hair for the next couple of weeks, before a thorough shave at month end.
( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Mon 15 Nov 2010, 12:02, Reply)

Ah, so Movember has become a convenient excuse?
Fair enough.
(LongJohnBaldry, Mon 15 Nov 2010, 12:04, Reply)

Precisely!

( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Mon 15 Nov 2010, 12:04, Reply)

just like all the ladies in macc, then!

I work with a woman from Bollington who has a full tache
It's horrific!

buy her a voucher for hestia
it will cost you about £50 though

Manning up would be a good start
Took me years to get over my own issues and there is only one way to do it. Start trying to chat girls up. If you fail, so what?

Also Singapore girl sounds like kind of a dick and not at all interested in making a go of things with you. Get her binned.

Tbh, me and singapore girl are best friends
Last summer, we became more (for the 3rd time), then something happened, we fell out, and decided to stay as friends again. A month or so later, she moved to Singapore for a year, and we've stayed in contact.

Yeah, but everyone's got to start somewhere,
personally I find a good guide is, "try to be more friendly and conversational than determined and gropey."
(LongJohnBaldry, Mon 15 Nov 2010, 11:48, Reply)

Gropey is not good
Never.

outside the bedroom or the gym
( rachelswipe with a fork, Mon 15 Nov 2010, 11:55, Reply)

Well, they get excited with that too
and it's understandable, I think. But then, they know which new plays are on the theatre, they know all the gossiping and keep me updated, they love having a night out a week and try new places and have a couple of beers... I hope I'm that type of mum, and not an obssesive one.

it's funny
the girls i thought would be really obsessive are quite chilled, and the ones you'd think would take it in their stride are a nightmare!
